Hornets interested in Myles Turner

but we're not the only ones.

 

The Charlotte Hornets are currently riding a four-game winning streak and continue to look like a playoff team. Their most recent victory was close, and the team lacked paint defense for a majority of the game.

With the team’s need for defense in the paint, it has prompted the Hornets to look at other center options. On Tuesday, J. Michael of the Indianapolis Star reported that the Hornets and four other teams were interested in Myles Turner.

I know nothing about this guy...what's he worth in a trade, and would he solve our problems?

When Boston still had Hayward - they were working on a sign and trade with the Pacers to acquire Turner.. he is on a 3 yr $18m, similar to Terry's contract.. Pacers wanted to move him because they thought he conflicts with Sabonis.. Boston got greedy and wanted Turner and Oladipo.. instead they lost Hayward to us.. 😁

Turner leads the league in blocks and is a good defender.. 6'11 center that is actually a good FT shooter and can knock down a 3pt shot if needed (shoots around .350 for his career)..

would be costly to acquire.. doubt we can make it happen without giving up too much

Wouldn’t want to give up that much but there’s no doubt he’d be a big add to our biggest position of need. Would probably be at the very least Monk or Graham, 2021 first rounder, Zeller. Not sure I want to pay that price for him honestly and that would still probably require an add from us.

I've wanted us to go after him for 2 or 3 years now, as he would be the perfect remedy for a lot of our woes...  but, problem is, the rumors about us being interested in him have been out there, much like Drummond, for the aforementioned last 2 to 3 years, and yet, here we are.   I'll believe it when I see it.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
